IT WAS THE TOE ALL ALONG 😉😆

POV: you mention balance once and suddenly your big toe becomes responsible for absolutely everything 😭

Apparently this little unit is now responsible for:

✔ balance
✔ posture
✔ strength
✔ core stability
✔ injury prevention

All jokes aside though… your feet DO matter.

Most people spend years in cushioned shoes, sat down too much, and completely disconnected from how they move.

You don’t need to obsess over your big toe 😆 But slowing down a bit and actually paying attention to your footing during exercises, walking, single-leg work etc probably isn’t a bad thing.

That still doesn’t replace the basics though:

💪🏼Lift weights.
💪🏼Walk more.
💪🏼Carry stuff.
💪🏼Get stronger.

Your big toe will cope 😆

Toe appreciation post complete 😭

Inspired by true events.

❤️ & Tag someone who’s one toe exercise away from enlightenment. 😉 🦶

TRICEPS - DON’T ALWAYS LEAVE UNTIL LAST ——

One area a lot of women tell me they struggle with is Triceps.

And often they get pushed to the end of a session when energy, focus and effort are already dropping.

This has been one of my go-to tricep routines for years — especially when I really want to bring them up and get a proper pump early in the workout.

🔥 TRICEP PUSH-UPS x20
Keep the core tight, body rigid and think about pushing the floor away.

🔥 OVERHEAD PLATE EXTENSIONS x20
Control the stretch and fully extend without rushing the movement.

🔥 TRICEP DIPS x20
Slow the lowering phase down and don’t snap the elbows at the top.

🚫 No rest.
4 rounds.

Each movement hits the triceps slightly differently through different angles and positions, so you’re not just repeating the same pattern over and over.

And yes… these are full sets 😅💪🏼

Let’s talk GRIP STRENGTH 💪🏼

Grip strength is a powerful indicator of overall health, muscle function, and longevity. It reflects upper body strength and plays a crucial role in maintaining independence and reducing health risks. Grip strength is one of the strongest longevity predictors. Woohooooooo!

My result today - dominant right hand. 36kg and a ‘Not too shabby’ left hand at 33.8kg.

* Comparison: A result of 36kg is closer to the average grip strength of a woman in her 30s or 40s. 

What the Result Means 🤓

Grip strength is a key indicator of overall health, muscle mass, and physical resilience. A high score like 36 kg at age 60 is a very positive sign and often suggests: 

💪🏼Good overall muscle mass and physical fitness.
💪🏼Lower risk of age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) and frailty.
💪🏼Better functional independence and a quicker recovery from illness or injury.



🚀 Ways to improve yours ➡️

💪🏼 Simple, effective options:

🚀 Farmer’s carries (holding dumbbells or kettlebells or plates etc )
🚀 Dead hangs or assisted hangs
🚀 Resistance band squeezes
🚀 Strength training (rows, deadlifts, pull-downs)
🚀 Tennis ball or therapy putty squeezes
